Where can we apply?

Turning up to the office when you're rocking a serious hangover is something no one wants to do.

Every now and then, whether planned or not, it's something that just has to be suffered through.

But one incredible boss has decided to cut her staff a serious amount of slack when it comes to being rough the day after a night out, by introducing 'hangover days'.

Claire Crompton, who is director and co-found of digital marketing agency The Audit Lab, has started to allow them to book them in advance if they know they know they're going to be getting on the bevs.

She told the BBC that she wanted to offer different kinds of perks to attract talent away from big cities, as her business is based in Bolton, just north of Manchester

Speaking to the show on a 5 Live Radio show, she said: "We wanted to offer something to younger millennials who typically go out mid-week and do the pub quiz.

"My team book a hangover day in advance, if they know they are going out."

Claire says that her staff are fine to work on the couch in their PJs on their hangover days. She believes that this creates an honest environment in the office, which in turn creates trust.

Think this could work at your office? Well there's no better time of year to make the suggestion.

Check out more about their hangover day policy over on their website.
